Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling power in a communication system. It is identified whether there is uplink transmission from a first UE. Sidelink transmission is transmitted from the first UE to a second UE based on a transmission power, if there is no uplink transmission from the first UE.

Claims (25)

1. A method by a user equipment (UE) for controlling power in a communication system, the method comprising:

identifying whether an uplink transmission and a sidelink transmission are allocated in a transmission time interval; and

transmitting, to another UE, the sidelink transmission in the TTI based on a transmission power, in case that no uplink transmission is allocated in the TTI; and

transmitting, to a base station, the uplink transmission in the TTI, in case that the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission are allocated in the TTI,

wherein the sidelink transmission is not transmitted to the another UE, in case that the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission are allocated in the TTI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink transmission comprises a transmission of at least one of a discovery signal, control information, and data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power is a smaller one among a first transmission power and a second transmission power.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, power control-related information,

wherein the first transmission power is determined based on a number of assigned resource blocks, a path loss, and the received power control-related information.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second transmission power is a maximum available transmission power for the sidelink transmission.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the path loss is determined for a serving cell based on information provided by a signaling from the base station.

7. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

identify whether an uplink transmission and a sidelink transmission are allocated in a transmission time interval,

transmit, to another UE, the sidelink transmission in the TTI based on a transmission power, in case that no uplink transmission is allocated in the TTI, and

transmit, to a base station, the uplink transmission in the TTI, in case that the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission are allocated in the TTI,

wherein the sidelink transmission is not transmitted to the another UE, in case that the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission are allocated in the TTI.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the sidelink transmission comprises a transmission of at least one of a discovery signal, control information, and data.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the transmission power is a smaller one among a first transmission power and a second transmission power.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the base station, power control-related information, and

wherein the first transmission power is determined based on a number of assigned resource blocks, a path loss, and the received power control-related information.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the second transmission power is a maximum available transmission power for the sidelink transmission.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the path loss is determined for a serving cell based on information provided by a signaling from the base station.
